The Western Walls are the extensive stratified walls running south from the fence-line to the prominent leaning prow overlooking Wind Bay. The walls contain some of the most outrageous low-grade climbing in mainland Britain: intimidating, well-protected climbing on solid rock.
Approach from Gupton Gate on the track marked by white posts in 50 mins.
The crag is in Range West, an Army live-firing range. Briefed climbers (with a valid permit) can access the crag year round when the range is not firing (all weekends & Bank Holidays plus occasional week days). Briefings now last from date of briefing to following Easter. Night firing normally occurs on Tuesday & Thursday but may also alternate to Monday & Wednesday.
When approaching from Gupton Gate in teh nesting season (March to July), Please note there is a restricted area on the middle section of Frainslake Beach due to nesting Ring Plovers - please stay on top of the dunes, or at low tide, low down on the beach when passing this area.
Thank you!
Dates: 1 March to 1 August
Reason: Nesting Birds
The restriction has been lifted due to birds failing to nest in this area.
